THE CUFF AND COLLAR.
NIMBLe FINGERED GIRLS WHO EARN
GOOD WAGES EACH WEEK.

Corner Turning an Art In Making Col
Iars-Ironers and Starchers Well Paid.
The SkiufuI Suspender Workers-A
Woman's Starch Making secret-wages.
Who has not heard "The Song Of the
Shirtg' but the song OF the cuff and col
lar remains yet to be written, and the
carol of the suspsnder would make an ex-
cellent new poem. The wicked man who
purchases a shirt for 81, which some poor
woman has made for i've cents, Is also
righteous because he wears collar made
by girl who earns $S5 week and cuffs
turned out at $25 a weeks wages.
ssYou don't beEeve that collar maker
can earn $S5 weeks" said the repre-
sentative of large house that deals In
these trifles. ''It does sound rather large,
and win admit that there are only
couple Of hundred girls that / know OF
earning that amount for that work, but II
you doubt my veracity. why go up to our
factory and ask the girls themselves.
You know the great secret Of making
collar is to turn the points perfectly
square, and there are very few women
who can do that. The best collars are
made four-fold-that is, there are two
thicknesses Of linen in between the outer
coverings, and it takes considerable skill
to stitch them, turn them and stitch
again. The ri whose fingers and eyes
can do the work nicely need never lack
for a living as long as men need collars. "
Inquiry at one or two collar factories in
town revealed the truth Of the young
mans remarks. The girls who make the
first quality of linen collars earn on an
average from $25 to SS5 week. Their
work is all piece work, that is they are
paid by the dozen, and the amount they
earn depends largely upon how much time
they spend each day at the machine.
The cuff makers come next in price to
the collar makers. The work has not to
be so perfect, but badly turned corner is
not accepted, and adopts earn from SO to
$50 a week A good collar maker can
turn out about ten dozen collars day,
sometimes more. Five dozen pairs OF
cuffs is considered an excellent day work.
OF course this does not include buttonhole
making, which is done by machine.
"Washing and ironing have not always
been considered lucrative employment, yet
we have girls in our collar and cuff factory
who make $15 to SIS n week at it, " said
the proprietor Of one Of the largest fac
tories in the state. Every one knows
how perfectly new collars are ironed.
Some of the work is done by machinery,
but most Of it by hand. The starching is
the principal thing to get right, and good
starcher, who does no other work, can
make fully as much as an ironer and often
more.

TYPHOID FEVER.
said to he Duclto the Presence of
ExcretiOns From Cattle.

In some interesting investigations
made by DIR. J. f. Allen, on the gen.
esis of typhoid fever in the Cape Col
ony, he attributes some cases that
came under his observation in Natal
to the presence of cattle manure, used
there as fuel. In his close examina-
ton of this subject, he was further led
to believe that the excretions OF
some calves affected with specific
enteritis, the LESSONS of which on post
mortem inspection corresponded with
those of typhoid fever in the human
subject, constituted the injecting ma
terial. Dr. Lawrence, also. who has
